Re: Reducing Magnetron Voltage

This may help explain what is happening in your microwave oven. The magnetron is a crossed field microwave tube. The magnetic field and electric field are at right angles to each other. The electric field travels in a circle about the axis, and because of the physical size and configuration of the c...

Exitation Inductance

Lenp: The frequency of operation is a hint. By winding the primary with 4 strands of wire side by side, the exitation inductance is reduced. From an inductance standpoint, it's like four inductors of the same impedance in parallel. This allows a faster rise time of the switching waveform thus reduci...

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR)

The Standing Wave Ratio is a number representing the ratio of RF power travelling down a transmission line (coax) to a load to that travelling back from the load to the source. Generally, no antenna is SWR free but most accept and radiate the power sent to it well. If an antenna collapses or the coa...

All Respondents

Thanks for all your help. For a while, it looked like a dead and, but as advised, I kept my eyes open on Ebay and just picked up a manual for $30.00 US, so now I can check out the CTCSS tone generator in the service monitor.

Again, thanks to all of you who helped in my quest

Cushman CE-31

THe cushman CE-31 is indeed a piece of test equipment, not a motor scooter. It is a service monitor that allows alignment of a radio receiver's circuitry and also a transmitter's circuitry. It's used largely for two way radios and repeaters, etc. I need the manual to understand the limits of this in...

Vertical deflection

The vertical trace is usually magnetically generated by a set of coils around the base of the neck of the crt (as is the horizontal deflection). Your symptoms point to an intermittent wire, connection at the deflection coil, or a bad trace/connection at the pcb. Usually, the horizontal trace experie...
